Well, just because I'm in my teens and I still go to schoolDon't think that I dream childish dreams, I'm nobody's foolDon't bother me, that makes me wildAnd please don't treat me like a childIt's often said that youngsters should be seen and not be heardBut I want you to realize that it's quite absurdAnd don't want to be so meek and mildSo please don't treat me like a childSo please don't treat me like a childGonna be my own advisor, cause my mind's my ownThen I will be much the wiser, my own point of view has got to be knownThe best years of my life I know are those when I'm youngAnd since I'm sure that this is the end of the worldSo gonna have my funSo if I feel like running wildWell please don't treat me like a childGonna be my own advisor, cause my mind's my ownThen I will be much the wiser, my own point of view has got to be knownThe best years of my life I know are those when I'm youngAnd since I'm sure that this is the end of the worldGonna have my funSo if I feel like running wildWell please don't treat me like a childDon't ever treat me like a child
